b. c.1421, CIPM, xxvi. 120-3. s. and h. of Lewis John* by his 1st w. The Commons 1386-1421, iii. 494. m. aft. June 1440, PCC 14 Rous (PROB11/1, f. 107). Maud (fl.1462); Herts. Archs., Capell mss, DE/M/139; Essex RO, Petre mss, D/DP T1/830. HP Biogs. ed. Wedgwood and Holt, 503, wrongly asserts that John married one ‘Margaret Stonor’. Trans. Essex Arch. Soc. n.s. vi. 37 is more cautious, simply noting that John was said (mistakenly as it turns out) to have Margaret Stonor and that she was probably a member of the well known Oxon. fam. 1s. Sir Richard Fitzlewis†. C140/78/76. Dist. 1465.
